[Bertz]

Brennen with a walk before I've even finished my first coffee of the morning is fun

[Tim]

Anderson Espinoza struck out the side and Nelly hit a bomb in the first.

Against a good pitching prospect:

 

 

[Tim]

Nelson with a second HR

[Bertz]

If the back of my napkin is correct, PCA is up to .240/.406/.480 after that last HBP

[Tim]

A lot of MB hitting lines getting healthier today.

Annnnndd now a dong

 

.269/.424/.615

 

Early season data is fun

[CaliforniaRaisin]

PCA with a non-little league homer:

 

[Hrubes20]

PCA bomb. I believe this one actually went out. We finally have one of the good hitters doing something!

[Bertz]

Funny how the oldest prospect in the MB lineup was the first one to start hitting. Almost like that means something?

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Just saw Torii Hunter Jr. got a hit against Tennessee, and I'm sorry but that is unacceptable, Torii Hunter Jr. cannot exist as an adult person

[Tim]

Pinango with a double; three hits on the day and is up to .333 on the season.

[Tim]

Also, Nelson with two doubles and two HR today. OPS for the season now well over .900

[Tim]

PCA on for the fifth time today. HBP, two BB, 3B, HR

[NOLA]

Also, Nelson with two doubles and two HR today. OPS for the season now well over .900

I’ve been reading a lot more lately on MiLB, and not seeing much positive about him as a prospect. Is there a possibility he’s a thing?

He's the one that went bonkers in the Arizona Fall League. He's probably not a guy. But there's some chance.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Multi-hit games today:

 

Alfonso Rivas

Nelly Velázquez (2 homers, 2 doubles)

Yohendrick Piñango

Ed Howard

PCA (triple, homer, HBP, 2 BB)

Yeison Santana (4/5 with a double)

James Triantos

 

Owen Caissie and Brennen Davis each had a single and walk. Canario has a homer.

[NOLA]

Also, Nelson with two doubles and two HR today. OPS for the season now well over .900

Yeah, the bonkers in the AFL and still hitting is why I ask. He just keeps hitting.

He probably won't ever have the contact or consistency to be a star, but I think a Hunter Renfroe type outcome seems very reasonable. Streaky lefty-masher who mashes everyone in his best year.

[We Got The Whole 9]

PCA and Nelly had fantastic nights

[Coach R]

Odd that an 11-sec triple is described as “less than 17 seconds.”

Technically true, but…

[sneakypower]

Just saw Torii Hunter Jr. got a hit against Tennessee, and I'm sorry but that is unacceptable, Torii Hunter Jr. cannot exist as an adult person

that one really freaked me out like 8 years ago when he played football at Notre Dame

[Transmogrified Tiger]

he's TWENTY SIX !?!?
